Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

Dude, they took the Forunner technology BILLIONS of years after they're gone. Seriously, how could they ask for permission? What the -blam!-? You make no sense at all. By the way, yes, true, they made their own A.I. No big deal. The Hunters, Grunts, Jackals, Brutes, Drones, none of them made any weapons of which they wield now. After all, the Forunners made shield technology, plasma and laser as well. The Brute rifle is only a modification that Brutes made to the original Plasma rifle wield by the Sangheillii.
Isn't it more like 800,000 years (think it was mentioned in 2nd Halo book), not billions of years. And the Covenant didn't make their own AI, they simply altered and reverse engineered our AI (think the information is in 3rd Halo book). And yes, the Covenant have taken some of the technology from the Forunners, but the weaponry and armor have been reversed engineered (you do know what reverse engineering is don't you?). I highly doubt that the Forunner had armor that perfectly fitted the Elites and have super alloy shields perfectly fitted for the Hunters (not to mention the Hunters fuel rod cannon attached to their arm), and the Jackels shield perfectly fitted for them. Can't say much for the design for the weapons except they seem to fit the Covenant a lot better than us.Nope, not at all. The weapons technology was already the Forerunners, the Covenant just made it fit for their troops. With the different materials owned by the Forurnners they made the armour for their troops themselves, yes. As about the A.I, they copied and studied our A.I technology, thus finally making their own. No, I do not know what Reverse Engineering is, after all, this is not my first langauge and I do my best to know as much as I can. I repeat myself, the Forunners made the technology, but the Covenant made it fit for themselves. Damn, is it so hard to explain that? Because it does seem so.
By the way, how did this discussion turn into technology all the way from events? 0_o
